The Next Blog Will Be Funny...
With Elaine on another late shift, I've spent a fair bit of the past two days on my own in the house—not something I particularly enjoy. I don't mind my own company (well…), but I think a combination of "life experience" and an enduring ability to think too much can occasionally make being "home alone" slightly less relaxing than it should be.
In a previous life, various things happened that resulted in me finding it almost impossible to answer the door or pick up the phone because I always expected something bad to happen (because it often did…). The first ring of the phone and my heart would just start to race and it actually took several years of being with Elaine before the unseen wouldn't panic me.
In just over a fortnight, Elaine and I will have been together for seven years—I honestly didn't think I'd ever truly understand what words like "happy", "trust" and the old indefinable "love" actually felt like. In my head, I didn't deserve to find out, but Elaine must have seen something I couldn't see in myself and as 10th July (our anniversary) draws closer, I instinctively start to remember how incredibly hard we fought to be together and how much I owe Elaine for believing in someone who felt he had very little to offer.
I do still dwell on negative things when I have too much time on my own—and yes I know that I shouldn't, but I am far more aware of how my mind works, and I also know which music not to listen to! The fact is that every day starts and ends with the person who changed my life for the better and that is something I don't ever forget.
In amongst it all, Elaine gave me the encouragement to write and the prospect of becoming a published (as opposed to self-published) author is one more thing I don't think would have ever happened had Elaine and I never met. I have also been able to commit personal thoughts and feelings to paper (or its electronic equivalent) and that has certainly helped me come to terms with what many people would call "demons". It's not so much the fact that others read my blogs, it's more the slightly selfish act of the release, but much as I'm a stronger person than I was a decade ago, I realise only too well the main reason why...
I love you Elaine... hurry home xxx

Elaine is just as lucky as you are,Richard..and I'm sure she would be the first to agree....and once again,you have touched my heart <3

That little lady of yours is very wise. Many congratulations on your upcoming anniversary, your a smashing couple. And as for the demons, you'd be surprised to know how similar you & I are. With the right soulmate by your side, anything is possible my friend. I speak from experience. X

You're going to need dates, and states.Ball park dates - ie within a 10 year range will even get you farther than nothing.
It's likely she married a doctor and not an indian medicine man. It was very looked down on for whites to marry indians even at the turn of the 20th century.
I had one relative who when told he had some indian in his blood, on his wedding day back in the 1930's, left the town and never came back. He didn't even put his shoes on. It was too much of a disgrace, at that time.

This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com.

- American drone strikes resume in Pakistan
- French journalist killed in Syria during visit to Homs

Pakistan in governmental crisis as 'Memogate' scandal continues
Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Wednesday fired defense secretary Naeem Khalid Lodhi "for gross misconduct," for saying that the army makes its own decisions, and that the government did not have "operational control" over the army and the intelligence service, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). This is the latest move in a power struggle between Pakistan's army and its civilian government that has grown since the U.S. operation that killed Osama bin Laden on Pakistan's soil, and many government officials expressed suspicions that the army knew all along that bin Laden was there. The "Memogate" scandal exploded in November when Husain Haqqani, Pakistan's ambassador to Washington at that time, was accused of having written a memo asking for Washington's help in preventing a military takeover of the government, led by President Asif Ali Zardari. Zardari, a Shia Muslim figure, has had tense relations with the largely Sunni Muslim army, and he's suspected of having approved the memo. The latest sacking has ratcheted up the tensions, and raised fears of a possible coup. Al-Jazeera and Express Tribune (Pakistan)
American drone strikes resume in Pakistan
In the first attack a target in Pakistan's tribal region since November 17 by an unmanned American drone, at least four militants were killed by missiles fired from the drone on Wednesday. It's believed to be extremely unlikely that the U.S. gave Pakistani authorities advance notice of the attack, since experience has shown that notifying the Pakistanis means that the militants flee the target location before the drones hit. Reuters
French journalist killed in Syria during visit to Homs
France's well known journalist, Gilles Jacquier, was killed on Wednesday in the city of Homs during an official visit sponsored by Syria's ministry of information. Jacquier was killed, along with eight Syrians, when mortar bombs or grenades exploded near them. Homs, with a population of 1 million, is more a warzone than a city, with the majority Sunni population increasingly separate from the Alawite minority. It has suffered badly during the unrest. Parts of the city are without electricity or phones and shortages are rife. Snipers on rooftops are a regular hazard. It is not known which side is responsible for the Jacquier's death. Guardian
Arab League observer calls Syria mission a 'farce'
Anwar Malek, an Algerian national, resigned on Wednesday as as one of the observers in the Arab League mission to Syria, saying that the mission was a "farce," and was falling apart:
"What I saw was a humanitarian disaster. The regime is not just committing one war crime, but a series of crimes against its people.
The snipers are everywhere shooting at civilians. People are being kidnapped. Prisoners are being tortured and none were released."
Malek said that security forces did not withdraw their tanks from the streets, but just hid them and then redeployed them after the observers left. A second observer, asking not to be named, is planning to resign on Friday:
"The Syrian authorities have exploited the weakness in the performance of the delegation to not respond. There is no real response on the ground.
The military gear is still present even in the mosques. We asked that military equipment be withdrawn from the Abu Bakr al-Siddiq mosque in Deraa and until today they have not withdrawn."
Al-Jazeera and Reuters
Hillary Clinton condemns Assad's 'chillingly cynical' speech in Syria
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday:
"But instead of taking responsibility, what we hear from President Assad in his chillingly cynical speech yesterday was only making excuses, blaming foreign countries, conspiracies so vast that now it includes the Syrian opposition, the international community, all international media outlets, the Arab League itself. And I want to commend the Arab League for showing real leadership. I think that it's clear to both the prime minister and myself that the monitoring mission should not continue indefinitely. We cannot permit President Assad and his regime to have impunity. Syrians deserve a peaceful transition. We are looking to work with the Arab League when the current monitoring mission expires on January 19th. And we look again to the prime minister for his leadership."
It appears that January 19 will be another decision day on Syria. State.gov
U.S. denies any role in the assassination of Iran's nuclear scientist
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday, "I want to categorically deny any United States involvement in any kind of act of violence inside Iran," following Iran's announcement that a terrorist bomb had killed Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, an Iranian nuclear scientist. It's thought that Clinton felt it was necessary to make this denial, because tensions have risen so high between Iran and the West, especially last week when Iran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz. However, Iranian authorities are saying that the attack is similar to earlier killings of Iran's nuclear scientists, and the current attack bears the hallmarks of an Israeli hit. AP
Mosque attacked in Nigeria's south in Benin City
A mosque and Islamic school were attacked on Tuesday in the southern Nigerian city of Benin, killing five people. It follows a separate attack on a separate mosque in the city on Monday. It's suspected that these are attacks against Muslims by Christians seeking revenge for attacks by the Islamist terror group Boko Haram against Christians in the north. The attacks are causing Christians in the north and Muslims in the south to flee their homes in fear of violence. Some people are saying that what's going on reminds them of the prelude to the bloody civil war of the late 1960s. "We see the nation heading towards civil war. We know that the civil war was preceded by problems – serious killings on both sides of the regional divide," said Nigerian writer and Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka. However, from the point of view of Generation Dynamics, a new civil war is impossible at this time, since only two generations have passed since the crisis civil war of the the late 1960s. BBC

Tis a season of war. And though we in the West like to think of ourselves as a peaceful people, the reality is that we are heir to a warrior tradition stretching back millennia. It begins with Achilles, tempestuous, passionate and fearsome in battle. Immortalized, perhaps invented, by Homer, Achilles has inspired admiration and envy down the centuries. Alexander the Great slept with a copy of the Iliad on campaign, and styled himself the new Achilles as he swept across Persia. During the early 19th century, the Romantic Poets praised him as a man of action, loyalty and feeling. And when the British stormed ashore at Gallipoli in 1915, more than one officer, knowing his Homer, keenly felt the resonance of fighting in the same part of the world where Troy's ruins stand. In a lull before the assault, one of them wrote, Stand in the trench, AchilleFlame capped, and shout for me.
Literature, it seems, isn't yet done with this hero, as demonstrated by the publication of Achilles (Picador, paper, $11), a graceful prose poem by British scholar and writer Elizabeth Cook. In a mere 107 pages of text, Cook retells Achilles' story from a medley of sources ranging from Homer to John Keats. The result is an extraordinary …Read more

Howdy folks! I hope everyone's Holidays are gearing up to be great. I'll be spending mine here in Texas, with warm weather and dirt, but the family always makes it seem like a perfect Holiday Movie.
Anyway, I had been attempting to clear out some projects so I would have time to do this, and thankfully the boat didn't sail.
So, officially, I have picked up a scene for the latest iteration of 'Star Wars Uncut'. This doesn't mean I actually get to have my scene in the feature, but I'm just happy I have the time to throw down for the spot. The scene I chose is the part where Luke slashes open a hatch on an AT-AT and then throws a thermal detonator or something in it to make it go boom.
I will be attempting to keep a pretty detailed account of how I go about doing this scene, from character designs, to set pieces, and story boards to animation. So you folks will finally get to see some of the crap I do... Yay!
So, day one... morning one... whatever, I scraped up some time between animations for the upcoming Jack Reacher review on Spill.com and sketched out my version of Luke, for the animation. More is coming soon!

Article from the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) website, 12 October 2012.
Wheelchair push 500 mile challenge
A former RAF Regiment Gunner has successfully completed his 250th mile of his 500th mile wheelchair race at the Red Arrows Airfield, RAF Scampton on the 4th of October. Sean Allerton is determined to cover 500 miles as part of the Push 500 Wheelchair challenge.
He was left using a wheelchair after a motorbike accident in 1993 and hopes to raise thousands of pounds for 6 nominated charities including the RAF Association.
Sean said: "The Push 500 Wheelchair Challenge is not an organised challenge; it is a personal one for me. I am using a wheelchair and so this challenge is, from the outset, not an easy one.
During the course of the 500 miles, in support of troops currently deployed abroad, he intends to imitate the work of RAF personnel. So Sean wants to do at least one 24 hour shift and to pull at least one mile the full weight of kit that a deployed soldier would carry on patrol.
Joined by Red 3, Flight Lieutenant Mike Child, Senior Aircraftsmen engineers Joe Tiley and Ant Pinch and willing members of the RAF Benevolent Fund, the RAF Association and Yorkshire University Air Squadron, he completed a 2 mile route around the taxiways.
Sean continued his challenge at RAF Benson where he met Chief of the Air Staff, Sir Stephen Dalton along with service personnel from RAF Benson and members from the various charities he is supporting. There was a photo taken in the hangar followed by Sir Stephen joining Sean for a 2 mile course around the runways of RAF Benson. They were given a cheer by a line up of personnel as they finished the course and Sean gave a speech to thank everyone for their support.

Stories From Underground, by Colette Campbell-Jones are visual reconstructions of oral histories from the coal miners of South Wales. Campbell-Jones was inspired to retell the stories of this vanishing culture after spending time with her husband's family in the small town of Ton Pentre. "The underground imagery of the mine is profoundly mythical, an archetype associated with darkness, the unknown and the primordial," she says. Using a self described "hybrid process" combining documents with manipulated digital imagery, Campbell-Jones is able to interweave the various stories and histories of the Welsh mining communities into individual narratives. The images reference drawing and printmaking process and appear almost as if they could be charcoal drawings. They will be on display at the photo-eye Gallery in Santa Fe from June 3 – July 30.

Home / General Information / List of Effigies / King George III of the United Kingdom / First laureate bust by Conrad Küchler
Information about effigy: King George III of the United Kingdom / First laureate bust by Conrad Küchler
|King George III of the United Kingdom
Conrad Heinrich Küchler (c. 1740 – 1810), surname usually rendered in English as Kuchler, was a German engraver who from 1793 until his death worked as a designer of coinage and medals for the manufacturer and mint owner Matthew Boulton.
Küchler was born in Flanders around 1740. He first came to England in March 1793, where he was employed as an engraver at the Soho Mint, owned by the notable manufacturer Matthew Boulton. He was Boulton's sole artist for designing and die-cutting, and produced the designs for various coins, medals and tokens, including the copper "cartwheel" pennies and twopences, and medals depicting the Battle of Trafalgar, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. He later left the Mint, but continued to be employed by Boulton's firm in London until his death. Küchler died in Handsworth in 1810.
Three of his effigies of George III can be found on English coins:

About The Team
First, thanks for checking out or site! Our goal was to create a set of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare hack tools that work better than any other mod out there. We have included speed mods, infinite armor mods, unlimited ammo mods, and much more. The best thing about our site is all of our mods are usable online! Our Call of Duty hack tools are based around a very clever set of programs that all run online. This allows many more people access to our tools than before. Because most hack tools and trainer mods are a pain to install and get running, we made it a priority to get these online. We accomplished all of our goals with the release of COD: Infinite Warfare hack tools. Everyone on the team has helped put thousands of accumulative hours in coding and testing out all of the features on the site. We have all spent several months working on this project, and hope the ease of use that comes with projects like these will encourage more people to move in towards the modding community. This is also why we keep all our tools free for use! We find pride in developing hack tools like the ones we have built for COD: Infinite Warfare, and as the game is released, we hope to move forward and add more hack tools for the game. Our whole team hopes everyone is able to get the most out of our tools at Infinitewarfarehacktool.com, and good luck!

Usually when people hear of protective hairstyles they imagine long tresses being plaited or twisted to defend from environment and pollution. Well, it is true but partially. No doubt protective style do preserve hair in good condition and allow tresses grow fast and easy, without getting contaminated. However, they can be short as well as long. Even very short pixies are possible with twist and braids. But today we will take a look at bob length. Simply because they are extremely popular nowadays and it is quite worthy to get to know them. For black women, braids bob hairstyles are the most popular and really amazing. For sure relaxed hair and straightened tresses are no less impressive. But box braided or Marley twisted bobs are beyond any words.
Box braids and bob styles
The short hairstyles have become very popular in the recent years. If before women had to torture themselves while dealing and managing long tresses, now finally these days are gone. Any lady can choose on her own what length t wear. And many do prefer bob thanks to its functionality. Very long extensions are difficult to manage each day, while bobs are light and soft and easy.
Black women braids bob hairstyles
A traditional detail to you newly braided bob are the beads – the metallic rings that look authentic and also stylish nowadays.
By the way, a very common thing is to choose extension or make the braids of different colors, bold or transitional. Of course, on long hair they are easily performed. But it doesn't mean that on bob styles they are impossible. Look at the silver braids bob hairstyles or the styles with dark hair colors with highlights.
Cool black bob hairstyles from braids
As I said, bob hair length will arm you many ways of styling, You can make a simple pony. Or the trendy half up top knots that won hearts of girls this summer. Or make yourself look romantic by sweeping and fixing tresses on one side as if creating a long side fringe. For autumn time modern hats will be a nice complement to your braided bob hairstyles.

Help promote amateur astronomy….be a part of the Observer's Challenge Report
March 11th 2017
The observer's challenge is the only report which allows the average amateur an opportunity to participate and share their observations in an organized monthly report with other amateurs all over the country and beyond. The loss of the observer's challenge report…..after eight years would be a loss to amateur astronomy.
I must admit, during busy times, if not for the challenge report, I might not have taken my scope outside. It's just too easy to stay in a warm house during the winter months, or a cool house during the heat and humidity of summer. Mosquito's can be a problem also. I think we can all admit that amateur astronomy can be a difficult hobby at times. Miss one month, then two, and before you know it….a year or two has passed.
After more than 40 years as an amateur, I sometimes need some motivation. That motivation for most part is the observer's challenge, sharing emails, and talking with amateurs….far from my own backyard.

Servings: 8
This classic pie includes a flaky pastry crust, billowy whipped-cream topping, and of course a silky, aromatic sweet-tart custard filling. If you can't find fresh Key limes, you can substitute common lime juice, which will be tart but without the floral notes found in Key limes. Bottled Key lime juice is an even better choice as long as it's 100% juice. The pie needs to chill for at least 5 hours before serving.
Make Ahead Tips
The dough can be made up to 24 hours ahead of shaping. Refrigerate, wrapped in plastic.
The crust can be shaped up to 24 hours ahead of baking. Refrigerate, wrapped in plastic.
You can fill, bake and chill the pie (but don't top with whipped cream) up to 1 day ahead; if refrigerating for more than 5 hours, cover the pie with plastic wrap. Top the pie when you're ready to serve.

I made this last yearwhen the recipe was published. I did use a Graham cracker crust, and wished I had gone with a pastry crust. I forgot where the recipe originated. Greg Patent lives in Missoula, Mt, and I spent hours today combing saved recipes from him before finding it. The recipe is so good, it was worth the time and effort to find it! It is a real pain to juice fresh Key limes, but once that is accomplished, the pie is very quick and easy to make. And totally delicious!
I used this filling this last night with a graham cracker crust and a spoonful of whipped cream and it was fantastic! Not too sweet- a perfect balance...Being a New Englander I can not comment on the "classic" debate... but can attest that it is delicious!
also being raised in Fla., Key West, specifically, The original Key Lime Pie originated in Key Largo, 1969, @Parrot Joe's/Jack's, and MOST CERTAINLY DID have a flake crust, not graham cracker. And No merangue, or cool whip either!! Sorry to dispute your word jfk66!!!cm
Get a graham cracker crust. Mix the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and lime juice (preferably Mrs. Biddle's or Nellie and Joe's) and don't bake. The lime juice is of higher acidity than regular lime juice and is sufficient to cook the eggs. Skip the Whipped cream. Keep it simple.

text: Chieti to Vigevano trains might be a good value for money solution: travelling in Italy by train is often rather cheap and faster than taking a bus indeed Trains leave from Chieti and arrive at Vigevano every about 6 hours on average. If travelling with Trenitalia, you need to know the Chieti to Vigevano train schedule: the first train leaves at 08:27, while the last ride is at 14:26. A Chieti to Vigevano train cost about 57.65 €. But how long is the train ride from Chieti to Vigevano? Your journey takes about 9 hours on average.

When to Use Holy Water
Full Question
I was taught that it is correct to use the holy water font to make the sign of the cross only as we enter the church, not as we exit. Is this true?
The use of holy water fonts derives from the Jewish practice of purifying oneself before entering the temple (Lev. 12-15). Holy water fonts located at the entrance of churches are meant to remind us that we were purified in baptism and to seek forgiveness ("re-purification" so to speak) of our post-baptismal sins.
It is certainly most appropriate, and traditional, to bless ourselves with holy water upon entering a church, but there is no absolute requirement that we do so. There also is nothing that states that we cannot or should not use the holy water on the way out of the church. While it would not be the same symbol of "entering the temple," it could be used to remind us of our baptismal calling to live the gospel in the world.

October 28, 2013 to November 3, 2013
Monday we had an amazing dinner with the Boiks. We found out from the Boiks that someone had passed away. We went to the Shelhammer viewing. Although I didn't personally know the man we learned a lot about him. He was an amazing man. We headed back from Berwick and dropped off a triple combination for Stephanie. Then we talked with several people - one being Stan. He ran off before we could give him anything because people were following him and harassing him. He literally ran into a light pole to get away from them. Those few minutes were probably the most thrilling and frightening part of my mission.
Tuesday we went to the food cupboard and bagged potatoes. On the way back we ran into Stephanie. We let her know about the ward trunk or treat. Not much later we worked on the area book. Afterwards we went to visit a few people and ran into Patrick once again but this time he was joined by April. At first the conversation was light chatter about nothing in particular but soon ventured into deeper subjects - we gave them Books of Mormon, a couple of pamphlets each, and an Articles of Faith card. It was the Articles of Faith card that caught Patrick's attention and we sent up a return appointment for the following Tuesday - when they would be available next. That night we met with Don and talked with him about the commandment of health - the Word of Wisdom. We then went to the Dicks home and had an amazingly spiritual lesson on the Holy Ghost with Margot.
Wednesday started out with District Meeting. The first part of the meeting was focused on getting to know each other. Something that stuck out to met from the meeting was this statement "Don't just sit and stew, go and do!" Each of us created a little paragraph for a lesson for someone we were teaching. After district meeting we went to visit some people we had met previously and ran into a member from another ward. Imagine our surprised when he told us that he was a member and was preparing for a mission. We then met with Brother Stanley and talked with him about two commandment - the law of health and following the prophet. Gabby's lesson was probably the lesson every missionary dreamed of. The spirit was thick as we read the story of the Prodigal son in Luke 15: 11-32. Then we went on to read about Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. She accepted the invitation to be baptized. Before we saw Gabby a whole sting of events led to the lesson even happening. Through the string of events we met Andre who had been to church a couple times before either Sister Stovall or I were there. Amazingly spiritual guy. That night we went to Trunk or Treat. Sister Stovall got in the back of Sister Meaders car and had fun scaring kids when they went to get candy from the bowl. Stephanie and her kids came to the Trunk or Treat. It was an amazing day.
Thursday was Halloween. We ate lunch after studies and headed to the public library. We ran into Brother Johnston on the way into the library and talked with him for several minutes. We then went to see Martha and Jessica. We found out in the morning that Jessica had recently lost her friend. We watched the Mormon message "Hope Ya know, I Had a Hard time Today". During the lesson my locked and I couldn't get it open. I called the mission doctor after the lesson and he had me contact an oral surgeon in the ward. He said he would look at my jaw on Sunday. We then had dinner with the Howies. After dinner we headed in for the night. We had to be in early for the holiday. I worked on the area map and finished it. Sister Stovall worked on the to do list we had and on calling people in the directory that we didn't know. Overall it was a good day, however I ended up losing my CTR ring (the one my older sister gave me).
Friday after weekly planning we talked to Andre for some time. We headed further out and ate at Playa Cancun. From there we went to a street and spent several hours tracting. With the exception of one each house was a rejection. The exception was a teenager named adam who was interested in learning more. On our way to meet a less active member we stopped at a house. Both Sister Stovall and I looked at the house but continued on. However when we continued on several deer crossed the road and were forced to stop. We took that as a sign and turned around and pulled to the side of the road. At first we talked to Amber who said she'd talk to her husband and that she'd let us know. We were walking back to the car when her husband came out and lit a cigarette. Sister Stovall turned around. I asked what she was doing and she said that was going to talk to him. At one point in talking to us he said that he wasn't going to be convinced of Joseph Smith. Sister Stovall said held up a finger and told him (and challenged him) to have just one lesson with us. He agreed and we set up a return appointment for the following Wednesday. We then went to go meet Brother Stuart. When the door opened we met his wife, Jeanette. His wife isn't a member. Brother Stuart told us why he hadn't been to church for some time. He told us that he had been wanting a Book of Mormon because he had lost his. We set up a time for us to return the next day.
Saturday Danny joined us and because of that we were able to help Brother Todd for about 6 hours clean out his house in preparation for him moving out and other moving in. We picked up the elders after we cleaned up and changed back into proselyting clothes. After dinner with the Forsbergs we dropped the elders off back at their car and then dropped off food that Brother Todd was taking with him to someone who needed it. We dropped by a less active couple that we hadn't been able to see in awhile. We were able to talk with him for a few minutes before we headed back in. We had received a call earlier in the day from Brother Stuart cancelling our lesson with them because his wife wasn't doing to good. We were sad but wished them well.
Sunday morning we had a meeting with out ward mission leader. Sacrament meeting we a fast and testimony meeting. Both Sister Stovall and I bore our testimonies. Eash testimony, no matter how short or tear filled, brought a special spirit to the meeting. Afterwards Brother Johnson looked at my jaw. It was determined that I most likely had TMJ.
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (sometimes abbreviated to TMJ or TMJD) is an umbrella term covering pain dysfunction of the muscles of mastication (the muscles that move the law) and the temporomandibular joints (the joints which connect the mandible to the skull). The most important feature is pain, followed by restricted mandibular movement, and the noises from the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) during jaw movement. Although it is not life threatening, it can detriment quality of life, because the symptoms can become chronic and difficult to manage.
That night we ate dinner with the Chartrands. We then had a lesson with Martha before we went in for the night.

I discovered Kelly Rae awhile back, bought a couple of her prints, bookmarked her website and started following her blog. Then I bought her book. And, on October of 2010, I created my first "Kelly-Rae-inspired" collage/painted box. That's how I started painting.
Now, almost a year later, I'm listening to Kelly Rae's advices again. This time, I'm taking her e-course: Flying Lessons. It just started this week and, so far, I like it! I'm really hopeful that this course will make a real difference for me, make me see things differently, make me believe that it can happen for me too.

'Workshop' from Joanna Drummond - pure-as-crystal voice, softly engaging lyrics, seductive melodies(June 20, 2014)
The website asks: "What happens when an opera singer falls in love with folk music and decides to start over, pick up a guitar and write?" The answer is folk gains - opera loses. Her debut folk album 'Workshop' will doubtless shape a reputation among folk music and hopefully inspire Joanna Drummond to continue writing intimate and simple folk songs that come with an intensity all their own.
A native of Calgary, in the province of Alberta, Canada, Joanna's musical world revolved around classical music, piano, choirs and opera until a weekend at the Calgary Folk Festival changed everything. Joanna was profoundly touched by a genre that explores, as it has always done, personal stories through narrative heritage and tales of tradition. The expanse of folk's eclectic and unrestricted world laid itself before her and Joanna responded with an album discovering the influences of mythical narrative, pastoral experiences and personal observation. Within the image-rich 'Wishing Well', the symbolism in 'Workshop' or the hopeful narrative of 'The Swallow' you find songs that call you into her world. The strength of her writing the freshness of its creation, listening to the inspired melody of 'Oh, Storyteller', the lovingly crafted lyrics of 'Playroom' and the deep understanding sealed in 'Ashes and Wood' it is increasingly hard to accept that Joanna is still exploring her art.
A pure-as-crystal voice delivering softly engaging lyrics over quietly seductive melodies, if 'Workshop' is the beginning, then there's much to follow.
Alongside Joanna Drummond (acoustic guitar, piano, vocals) on 'Workshop' are Craig Newnes (acoustic guitar, bass, keyboards) Spencer Cheyne (drums, percussion) Will Lynch (accordion) Kathy Cook (mandolin) Andrea case (cello) and Mike Little (Hammond B3 organ).

- Cache Redirection
- Content Switching
- DataStream
- Domain Name System
- Firewall Load Balancing
- Global Server Load Balancing
- Link Load Balancing
- Load Balancing
- SSL Offload and Acceleration
In today's complex Web sites, you may want to present different content to different users. For example, you may want to allow users from the IP range of a customer or partner to have access to a special Web portal. You may want to present content relevant to a specific geographical area to users from that area. You may want to present content in different languages to the speakers of those languages. You may want to present content tailored to specific devices, such as smartphones, to those who use the devices. The Citrix NetScaler content switching feature enables the NetScaler appliance to distribute client requests across multiple servers on the basis of specific content that you wish to present to those users.
To configure content switching, first create a basic content switching setup, and then customize it to meet your needs. This entails enabling the content switching feature, setting up load balancing for the server or servers that host each version of the content that is being switched, creating a content switching virtual server, creating policies to choose which requests are directed to which load balancing virtual server, and binding the policies to the content switching virtual server. You can then customize the setup to meet your needs by setting precedence for your policies, protecting your setup by configuring a backup virtual server, and improving the performance of your setup by redirecting requests to a cache.
Content Switching enables the NetScaler appliance to direct requests sent to the same Web host to different servers with different content. For example, you can configure the appliance to direct requests for dynamic content (such as URLs with a suffix of .asp, .dll, or .exe) to one server and requests for static content to another server. You can configure the appliance to perform content switching based on TCP/IP headers and payload.
You can also use content switching to configure the appliance to redirect requests to different servers with different content on the basis of various client attributes. Some of those client attributes are:
A typical content switching deployment consists of the entities described in the following diagram.
A content switching configuration consists of a content switching virtual server, a load balancing setup consisting of load balancing virtual servers and services, and content switching policies. To configure content switching, you must configure a content switching virtual server and associate it with policies and load balancing virtual servers. This process creates a content group—a group of all virtual servers and policies involved in a particular content switching configuration.
Content switching can be used with HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, and UDP connections. For HTTPS, you must enable SSL Offload.
When a request reaches the content switching virtual server, the virtual server applies the associated content switching policies to that request. The priority of the policy defines the order in which the policies bound to the content switching virtual server are evaluated. If you are using default syntax policies, when you bind a policy to the content switching virtual server, you must assign a priority to that policy. If you are using NetScaler classic policies, you can assign a priority to your policies, but are not required to do so. If you assign priorities, the policies are evaluated in the order that you set. If you do not, the NetScaler appliance evaluates your policies in the order in which they were created.
In addition to configuring policy priorities, you can manipulate the order of policy evaluation by using Goto expressions and policy bank invocations. For more details about default syntax policy configuration, see "Configuring Default Syntax Policies."
After it evaluates the policies, the content switching virtual server routes the request to the appropriate load balancing virtual server, which sends it to the appropriate service.
Content switching virtual servers can only send requests to other virtual servers. If you are using an external load balancer, you must create a load balancing virtual server for it and bind its virtual server as a service to the content switching virtual server.

Northumberland is critical
Northumberland is critical
NORTHUMBERLAND County Council made strong criticisms about the way the foot-and-mouth crisis was handled in the county in a report published earlier this week.
The 166-page report, which followed a five-day public inquiry into foot-and-mouth in January, pointed out that Northumberland did not have an effective centre for managing the crisis until five weeks after the first outbreak. It believed that recommendations in the Duke of Northumberlands inquiry into the 1967 outbreak had not been heeded and that better management in the early stages of the 2001 crisis would have greatly improved the outcome.
The report proposed that in the event of a future disease outbreak, burial sites either on, or close to, farms where an outbreak had occurred should be identified to reduce the spread of infection. It also suggested that the 3km circles drawn around infected farms were "too wide and too rigidly applied" and that a more common sense approach should have been taken.
The report panel also advised DEFRA to remove the 21-day standstill ruling as soon as possible, unless the Royal Society inquiry concluded that it was essential for disease control. It also believed that compensation for culled stock was still outstanding to some farmers and urged the government to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
• Cumbria, the county worst hit by the foot-and-mouth epidemic, has announced that it is to hold its own public inquiry into the crisis.
The announcement was made by Cumbria County Council on Thursday (Feb 21). It follows similar inquiries held in Northumberland and Devon.
"We need to draw a line under the past and give communities a chance to hold decision-makers to account," said Cumbria County Council leader Rex Toft. *

I was asked by a very good friend to make a sign for their pirate display. They were going to have a pub and needed a nice sign. After a few days, a name was picked: Ye Old Seaforth Tavern.
I picked a piece of scrap foam board I had from another project and drew the shape for the sign. Nothing real complicated a round section on the top middle and the bottom corners cut off.

Touch…is it important?
Touch…. It's a part of, or should be a part of everyday life. I think for those of us that have chosen Esthetics, Massage, Hair or Nails we are fortunate because we are touching people all day on most days. So, maybe, we take it for granted…. But for the average person, is there enough or any touch in their life? And how important is it?
They say we live in a touch-phobic society where we seldom touch those we know and rarely touch strangers. Why is that? Have we become so isolated and entertained by all that the world has to offer us technology-wise that we think we don't need touch?
Science has proven that touch is not only nice, but it is necessary. We are to have 4 HUGS to survive, 8 to thrive and we need 12 if we are in a crisis of some sort.
I stopped by one of my hospital locations this morning and ran into one of the top Management people. We talked, caught up on some things and at the end of our conversation I decided she needed a hug…. As I started towards her she backed up, so I told her what I was going to do and why. She then "let" me hug her, even asked for one more when I left so "she could get a head start on her (now important) hugs for the day".
I wasn't always a hugger, that came later in my life. When I was growing up my family was not the "touchy/hugging" type. We would hug each other good night and the siblings were "made" to hug and apologize to each other after a fight or an argument, but not a lot of touch other than that.
When I met my now husband I learned that there were other types of families; different than what I grew up with. The first time I was introduced to his mother she grabbed me, planted a kiss right on my lips and gave me a big "bear hug"! I did not know what was happening or even what to do with it. I should have expected that since my husband was quite touchy and affectionate. And, although it was strange in the beginning, it "grew on me".
After we married and started our family I realized that I had a lot of handholding, hugging and touch in my life. I was blessed and it was great, but then I forgot for a time, that everyone did not have what I had. A certain instance at a spa really made me realize the importance of touch. After a massage as I was getting dressed another spa client was standing next to me in the mirror. She made a simple comment: "Don't you just love this"? Why, yes, I explained to her that spa treatments were one of my favorite things ever and that my family often gifted me spa visits for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. She said, "NO, don't you just love being touched"? Now, that question really made me stop and think….. What??? Touch??? I had three little kids and a husband so I had plenty of touch everyday, and I didn't realize that people would visit a spa (and pay $$) JUST to be touched. She explained that she was single and that she had no one in her life to touch her, that she gladly came to the spa and paid hard earned money just for the touch. And she looked forward to it! Think about that for a minute……..
Do we know why someone comes to see us? What if they, like this lady only came for the touch, care and special attention that she was missing and needed in her life? What if we then were in a hurry and we were thinking of other things like: "what a day" and "thank goodness its almost over", "wonder what's for dinner"? Would that be fair?
Please re-adjust your thinking before you head into your day; realize that the gifts and talents that you have been given are to be shared mindfully without holding back with every client. We don't know their needs; we don't know their "back stories".
Give each and every client respect, time, touch and care – you might be the only touch they get……..

The Alliance to Restore the Republic was a fictonal military organization featured in the Star Wars film franchise. They comprised the central protagonists of the original three feature films Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Informally known simply as the Rebel Alliance, members of the organization have been prominently featured in the novel adaptations of the films, the Star Wars radio dramatizations and comic book adaptations of the films published by Marvel Comics and Dark Horse Comics.
As a resistance group, the Alliance existed from 2 BBY to 4 ABY. With the fall of the Galactic Empire, the Alliance disbanded and it's members formed the New Republic.
History Edit
Foundation Edit
The Alliance to Restore the Republic was an unlawful military organization formed as a resistance against the forces of the evil Galactic Empire. The seeds of the Rebellion began as far back as the formation of the Empire at the end of the Clone Wars, but it did not become a solvent body until shortly before the dissolution of the Galactic Senate in 0 BBY. The architects of the Alliance were Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan, Senator Garm Bel Iblis of Corellia and Mon Mothma of Chandrila. Another important figure in the creation of the Alliance was Dark Force apprentice Galen Marek who, under orders from his Sith master Darth Vader, was to help the foundation of a resitance group as a means of distracting the Galactic Emperor, allowing Vader the chance to engineer his own plots against the Emperor. Encouraged by Marek, the three Imperial Senators signed the Corellian Treaty in 2 BBY; a formal declaration of war against the Empire. Bail Organa's vast resources helped to finance the resistance while Senator Iblis provided resources to construct their fleet. Mon Mothma was tasked with recruiting soldiers and commanders. [1]
Within the span of two years, the Rebel Alliance grew in size and scope and they headquartered themselves on the fourth moon of the planet Yavin. As their influence began to spread across the galaxy, they eventually attracted the attention of Emperor Palpatine. The Emperor knew that the Alliance had high-ranking officials within the Galactic Senate, so he dissolved the senate, handing territorial reign of the various space sectors to regional governors known as Moffs. The greatest deterrent against a rebel uprising however was the Emperor's super-space station, the Death Star. Staffed by thousands of officers and soldiers, the Death Star was a mobile command center equipped with the power to destroy planets through the use of a massive super-laser.
When the rebels learned about the existence of the battle station, they put together a strategy known as Operation: Skyhook. Operation: Skyhook involved stealing the design schematics for the Death Star so that Alliance engineers could analyze the data in the hopes of finding a vulnerability that they could exploit. An Imperial defector named Kyle Katarn, having only recently thrown in with the Rebel Alliance, went on a mission to the planet Danuta, where he acquired a partial schematic of the Death Star blueprints. He delivered them to Alliance agent Leia Organa aboard her consular ship, the Tantive IV. More information relating to the Death Star was obtained on the planet Toprawa. [2]
Delivering the stolen plans to Alliance leaders on Yavin IV proved successful and represented the Alliance's first decisive victory against the Empire.
The Battle of Yavin Edit
On Yavin IV, Alliance leaders Jan Dodonna, Vanden Willard, Bob Hudsol analyzed the recovered data and determined a weakness in the structure's design. General Dodonna called a meeting of all the fighter pilots in attendance, which consisted of members of Red Squadron, Gold Squadron and Blue Squadron. Among the group was a young moisture farmer from Tatooine named Luke Skywalker, a man who had only recently began studying the mystical disciplines of the Force.
Using a holographic projection of the station, General Dodonna pointed out a small thermal exhaust port, which led directly into the Death Star's reactor chamber. In theory, a precise hit from a proton torpedo would cause a chain reaction which would destroy the entire station. However, the port itself was only two meters wide. Some pilots, such as Wedge Antilles, were skeptical as to their ability to accurately shoot such a remote target. As it was however, this was the only option they had. [3]
A fleet of starfighters, consisting of twenty-two X-wing fighters, eight Y-wing fighters and two R22 Spearhead fighters launched from Yavin IV to combat Imperial forces as the Death Star loomed into view. During the initial phase of the attack, the Death Star was still obscured by the planet Yavin and was not yet in range to fire its super-laser. As the Death Star skirted the perimeter of the planet, the Rebel squadrons entered the trench canyons that ran across the meridian of the station. The Death Star trench was defended by ion cannons and turbo laser turret cannons. This arsenal however, was designed for combat against capital starships and was virtually ineffective against smaller snub fighters. From within the safety of his command center, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin felt that the Rebel fleet presented no threat to the station and was confidant that the Death Star would destroy the Alliance in "one swift stroke". Tarkin's second-in-command, the Sith Lord Darth Vader however, was not as quick to dismiss the material threat the Alliance presented as Tarkin had. [3]
When the laser batteries failed to destroy the Rebel ships, the order came down to assemble the TIE fighter crews. The turbo lasers were de-activated, allowing the TIE fighters the ability to combat the Rebels ship-to-ship without risk of being shot down by friendly fire. Darth Vader chose to join the battle, piloting his personal TIE Advanced x1 Starfighter along with the Black Squadron TIE fighter group down the trench run.
While the ships engaged one another, Red Leader Garvin Dreis made a bombing run towards the exhaust port. He was the first to reach the zone, but his shot missed, impacting the surface of the Death Star. The Rebels managed to clear the trench of TIE fighters, but Vader, and two pilots of Black Squadron were still doggedly pursuing them. Vader shot down Red Leader as well as Biggs and one by one, the other Rebel ships began to fall. Wedge Antilles' X-wing suffered critical damage, forcing him to drop out of the battle. Wedge survived however, and managed to get his crippled ship back to base. Within short order, the only pilots left were Vader and Luke Skywalker.
Vader sensed the power of the Force with this sole remaining pilot, but he had no idea that the man he was about to fire upon was actually his own son. During the second bombing run, Vader got a lock on Luke's ship and prepared to blast him into pieces. As it turned out, Luke's newfound friends, Han Solo and Chewbacca, on board the Millennium Falcon arrived just in time to save Luke. The Falcon shot one of the Black Squadron TIEs and sent into colliding into the second, which exploded on the walls of the trench. He then fired on Vader's ship, disabling it and it spun out of control, flying away from the scene of battle. With no more enemy combatants to concern himself with, Luke concentrated on completing the mission. Relying upon the Force to guide him, he switched off his targeting computer and manually fired the "kill shot" that destroyed the Death Star.
Back on Yavin IV, a large celebration was held at the Great Massassi Temple. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker were awarded medals of valor for their participation in the destruction of the Death Star. [3]
